End In 1890.
Nav YoRK, Feb. g0.-Rev. NJ. Baxter,
who has been fixing the end Of time for
week or two past, settled the question
this afternoon About the year 1910 the
millennium will begin. lie told all about
IL in Cosmopolitan Hall to about hye hun
drel persons Around the room were ar
ranged illustrations Of Daniels visions
and Johns revelations, most OF them OF
a cheerless character. Before the mn
lennium comes there is to be season oi
hard times for every body on both SIDES
of the world The audience was not IN
pressed, the collection being too small Tor
congregation expecting TO have no use
for money in a short while.
What Rev. Mr.. Miller proved so eonclu-
sively many years ago, what great
many Second Adyentists have from time 10
time fixed at later movable dates, Rev.
Mr. Baxter figured as unansweraDly 10
day for 1900 he read from Daniel to
prove that the present trouble in the East
was his prophecy-all nations going TO
fight Jerusalem. The image seen by Neo-
uchadnezzar with head Of gold and feet
of clay was about demolished to the
feet, and the toes were represented by the
ten kin g1oms of Cesar's sworld-England,
France, Spain, Italy and Portugal on the
right foot; Greece, Egypt, Syria, Bulgaria
and Asia Minor on the left To fulfill all
the prophecies two prominent things must
happen-England must become republic
and France must whip Germany.
The speaker depicted the scenes oi the
latter times with the world adrift, and at
this point called upon the congregation TO
sing "Pull for the shore" The men
rrophesying IN the beginning OF the mil
lennium were as much ahead Of their age
as Calico, Isaac Newton and Jenner. How
as,onished the children Of the millennium
would be, he SAID, that we were so blind in
this matter Having opened the six phials
mentioned by John, the Revelator, Mr..
Baxter opened the seventh The former
phials referred to things that had already
| happened; the seventh refers to things To
come. Mr. Baxter said: "The anti
Christ, who will open things just
previous to the opening of the mil
| IL. u
French people will own about all
Europe. New York and the Western
Hemisphere cuts no figure in the conquest
of the Bonaparte dynasty, which is the
seven headed animal mentioned in Daniel
as having received deadly wound from
which 1t recovered The dynasty was
twice killed-once at Waterloo-once at
Sedan. This double death makes assur
ance douby sure. Daniel said the wound
would be healed. This means that in
the coming conflict with Germany
| France will win. We are now between
the wounding and healing. The begin
ming of the end will come in 1890 Then
for seven years Prince Bonaparte will
reign upreme and many millions Will be
put to death in those terrll le times This
| is the battle of mageddon. All the
Anarchists, Socialists and dynamiters
will join and fight the saints
Bad as the state Of things will be under
Bonaparte's re gn they will be worse in
the succeeding three years and half
Still, real estate owners are making their
wills, deciding their possessions to their
| children's children as II the world were
going on forever. In thirteen years the
vexe land question will settle itself-no
body will own a cents worth. We are
on the verge of the war with God Al
mighty and evil spirits are now at
work getting the forces together. The
dragon, the scarlet woman and the beast
with seven horns are busiy engaged in
raising troops. Spiritualstic mediums
will be told by Satan that Napoleon is the
ancient Of days and all the spiritualists
win Join his forces The spirit Of Com
munism which is represented by the So
cialsts in Germany the Nihilists in Rus
sia, the Fenians in ireland, is one Of the
elements of the coming struggle.
There will be great earthquakes be
tween the present day and the end OF all
the trouble, but the greatest will be the
inal one, when all these lofty flats, hotels
aud business structures will be fiattened
TO the ground. The Charleston earthquake
is not the only one of its kind; there are
others coming both there and in places
heretofore exempt
The END of the century is the end of the
world-in its present condition. Then
will come the millennium. The chosen
ones during that thousand years Will
sleep in heaven at night and come down
to the earth to do their work Then, by
spreading their wings, they will fly to the
sun There will be people on earth who
can not fly. But, travelling on railroad
trains, they win look out of the win
lows and see the lion and the child to-
ge,her; the bear and the cow, the wolf
and the lamb. At the beginning Of the
millennium Christ will come as thief In
the night and get the $4,000 Christians.
He will be like the rich men who now
have country houses-working on earth
and living in Heaven
